1.0L - 3 cylinder - paid $200
After running this car 3 times in fwd figure 8 races, I have 2 wins and 1 2nd.
This thing is suprisingly quick and handles excellent
I am planning on running this car in the 2004 figure 8 championship race.
After 3 races, I've had to replace the radiator, motor mount, plugs and alternator/waterpump belt.

I ran this car once more in a fwd figure 8 race and won my heat of 12 cars, which qualified me for the state championship.

I did a little work on the car and ran it in a local fwd figure 8 race.
I should have known it was going to be a strange day. First, I lost the keys
to my truck and spent the first hour looking for (and finding) them. Second,
I felt sick as a dog for most of the day. Third, the lady singing the national
anthymn forgot the words, said "shit" "damn" over the PA.
In the race itself, the geo wasn't running real good, but I managed to finish 2nd,
which qualified me for the 1st consi. Half way through the consi, something
happened and the geo started running great and I got into the lead. With only a few
laps left, another car went the wrong way on the track and ran me right into
the barriers. I kept it running and took the checkered flag a few laps later.
As I slowed down and was just idling toward the pits, the other car came
flying over and took out the whole front of my car. It happened so quick, I didn't
know what to think. I just sorta held my hands up and said "what the @#$%
was that. The crowd was boo'in and the officals were yelling at the guy.
I drove over to hear what the guy was saying. He claimed he never saw the
checked flag. I just sorta thought whatever.
A bunch of guys I'd never met came over and started helping me work on the car.
It was in bad shape and when another guy offered to let me drive his brother's car,
I checked it out and said ok. I was doing good in the feature until I lost a
right front tire. I probably finished 5th or so. I heard later on, that the
buy who hit me, left the area, which is just as well, since there were a few
guys who "wanted to have a talk with him". I also heard that he had been told
to never come back, sorta banned for life.
I did a bunch of work on this car and it's ready for 1 more race.
